In My Heart...

In my heart I know she was beautiful, but I
only knew her for a moment. He was bold, I am
sure, but of him I remember nothing. Is it possible that
when passion gets stirred with violence something
Remarkable can be born? Is that what started
it all... a stolen moment beneath the
gathering clouds?

You might think of this as a new beginning, but
there are no beginnings and no endings. When we are
pulled from the loop of our lives, the order of
things becomes unbalanced, and balance is
something I have sought for years.

Those of you who find this message must
Know that I am here, but not here.
This is part of me, but not part of me.
And exposure might bring danger
to us all.

William Congreve puzzle

Cogitoergosum was updated December 19, 2007, at 04:08 PM with a riddle. It reads:

The playwright William Congreve said that "music has charms to soothe a savage breast. To soften rocks or bend a knotted oak." I myself was once tamed a long time ago. My favorite things are still in this past even as I'm being drawn to the present.

Show me you understand the things I hold dear...

iv7, V7(#5), i7, vii7 III7, VI7, III7(#5), i7, VII7, iv7, i7

iv7,V7(#5), i7, vii7 III7, VI7, V7(#5), i7, II7, v7, i7

The quote is from Act 1, Scene 1 of William Congreve's 1697 play, The Mourning Bride. The code appears to be the chord progression for "Blue in Green", a Miles Davis jazz song.

Evsdroper: Listen carefully. This is not a joke.
Donna: Jeff, is that you? I don't have time for games right now.
Evsdropr: My name is evs.
Donna: Who?
Evsdropr: Evsdropr. This is not game. This is a set up. The man across from you is a killer.

Donna: Okay, I'll be right over, give everybody my best.
Evsdropr: Wait, one more thing.

Thompson's voicemails

Seems Thompson Jr. has some big shoes to fill, first his father, now Bennet. He's been receiving Bennet's forwarded voicemails. I'm mentioned a few times, but no one has a clue about my true identity, still, which is good. I'll post a few.

A few mentions of Primatech in here. Maybe I'm not the only one keeping an eye on Company operations.

Attachments: Voicemail #3: Hello Thompson, this is Tarot. I know what you're Company really is. You cannot keep this secret hidden forever. I have see much already and I will be watching.

Voicemail #4: I've got it figured out. I know what you did. I finally put all the pieces together. Primatech hasn't got anything to do with paper, does it? Well, just remember: We'll be watching you very carefully from now on.

NOTE: Tarot, a user at 9thwonders.com, claims to have left voicemail #3.

Voicemail #5: Thompson, apparently I'm not the only one who's seen what you and the Company have tried to hide. The trouble with secrets is someone always finds out. Hope you're prepared to deal with the truth getting out. You can't hide forever.

On June 25, 2008, evsdropr posted a message to the same thread only containing another two voicemails attachments:

Voicemail #6: Hello Thompson. Lets just say we know what you're doing at the Company, and we don't like it...And we're going to stop you no matter what it takes, and so you should watch your back if you know what's best for you.

Voicemail #7: Evs, I know you're watching this. I know who you are and I will find you. Watch out for the dreams.

NOTE: MikeMc and PaganDreams, users at 9thwonders.com, claim to have left voicemails #6 and #7, respectively.

On July 1, 2008, evsdropr posted a message to the same thread only containing another voicemail attachment:

Voicemail #8: Thompson. This is Dekker in Berlin. Hey, my guy over at the power company just called. He says something's started. Something is sending low-grade electromagnetic pulses into his grid. Get this: the surges come about 80 a minute. The waves are shaped like heartbeats. I was going to send my field unit to check it out but it turns out one of your tag and bag teams is already in the area. Could this be your guy? We can't make contact with your team. The EMP is degrading everything for 9 city blocks. If you have got any alternative means for getting in touch with them, let me know, stat. I'm already picking up chatter on the police band about it.

On July 3, 2008, evsdropr posted a message to the same thread only containing another voicemail attachment:

Voicemail #9: Hello, this is Jong Mao Chen of the Red Tyger Division of the Defense Department. I believe you are familiar with the truce that the two organizations [scrambled]. I'm willing to renegotiate any terms of our truce. If you would like to give me a call back I will be available at 218-5862. You may contact me in Peking, Hajin Province, Delong, in Lemuria. Thank you.

NOTE: xcfirefox of 9thwonders.comclaimed responsibility for this message, that he didn't plan for Evs to publish the message, and that he could no longer be contacted at the given number. Firefox also gave a brief summary of ongoing discord between the Red Tyger Division and the Company that began from the division's inception.

On July 7, 2008, evsdropr posted another voicemail-only message to the same thread:

Voicemail #10: Hello, Mr. Thompson. This is Steven Dodd. Regarding the application that I applied for the job, I'm currently in the military still, stationed in Virginia, but in four months I will be back in Illinois for good for when I start. And I am currently in Illinois just for today. I fly back to Virginia tommorrow, but my business hours are from 7 AM to 3 PM when I'm back in Virginia. I will be available. I'll be busy Sunday and I'll be busy tommorrow. Anytime today and starting Monday, after 3 PM, I'll be available. I'd like to talk to you. Alright, give me a call. Bye.

Later on July 7, 2008, evsdropr posted another voicemail-only message to the same thread:

Voicemail #11: Our European friend got away. There's no need for pestering. He won't bother anyone else. You need to check out this 9th Wonders thing. I think they're on to us. The mole may be getting deeper. I'll check in later.

On July 14, 2008, evsdropr posts another voicemail-only message to the same thread:

Voicemail #12: Yes, Mr. Thompson. We have found a new ability in a person in Southeast Texas, along the coast. His ability is to morph into any solid object.

Patterson is snoopier (or more bored) than I expected. He used his PDA's camera to take some unauthorized pix of the location where the bag & tag is going to happen. I need to know what he knows.

His PDA password is four characters. If you enter the wrong password enough, you get the password hint question: "B KA****" Figure out what goes where those stars are; I'm guessing that's the PDA password.

This German is a big deal. Devin can't be getting underfoot. Let's get into that PDA.
